DevTeach: Getting Control Over VStudio 2008

After Aaron Marten's talk on Visual Studio 2008 extensibility this afternoon, we were chatting about some possible examples and power tools for the shell. I piped up that I'd like something that would give me some control over the recent files/projects and the Start page. James Lau, Lead Program Manager from the Visual Studio Tools Ecosystem group commented that such an add-in "wouldn't be difficult."

Well James, I warned you: the challenge is out there! It doesn't have to be feature rich - just let me get rid of project names that I don't want to see any more.

No rush on this, Friday would be fine for the add-in. After all, even though this is a frequently-requested feature and a pain point in the IDE, I wouldn't want to put any pressure on you guys! <grin>
